Our Ponds!

[crimsontsavo]

I hope this isnt a re-post!

I used an old air mattress for the liner.
Various native mosses to cover the blue and lots and lots of plants!
Only one lonely goldfish i brought from Florida, LOL.
These are right after I put it in, the water is very muddy but cleared up quickly.
Ive got more rocks around and the garden filled in gorgeously. WHERE are those pictures! LOL

Still trying to find the photos of where it filled in and you can't see the ugly blue liner, LOL!!!
If my fibro will let me this year I am going to rearrange the rocks so it looks natural.

The only filter on the pond is a biological one, the plants and baccies (bacteria)!!

Old huge cookpot. No fish!

I LOVE the cook pot mini pond there!! What a fantastic idea for pond plants and a bird bath!

 

[crimsontsavo]

Thanks! It was super dooper easy to do. the hardest part was lifting it onto the log. LOL It weighs probably 60+ pounds without water!

[crimsontsavo]

I can see why no one would want to use it for cooking. *laughingc

The ponds look nice.

 

[crimsontsavo]

Tankies very much!

The cat ate the frog!? How big was that frog? From the pic, it looked pretty big... whoa.

I'd love to have a little pond, but I don't know if I'm ready for the added responsibility. Plus, I'm in Va- could goldfish stand our winters outside? Anyone know?

They are a cold water fish so yeah theyll live.
My ponds freeze over completely in the winter, I just remember to knock holes in the ice so gases can escape.
I never feed in the winter either.

Oh yeah, the cat ate the frog, he was a bit smaller than my hand lol.

Ahh, thats really cool then. I think maybe I'll add 'dig a big hole' to my honey-do list.

Haha, okay. The pic made him look way bigger to me.
